A Hospital Corpsman’s Prayer

LORD, AS I EMBARK upon this path
that You, in Your infinite wisdom, have set before me,
I pray that You will guide my hand, my heart and my
mind. Keep me faithful to my oath, always aware of
the seriousness of my duties, and above all the
sacredness of life. Let me not be a glory seeker,
but rather a servant, as You the Great Physician
to whom all Glory belongs, served even us. Help me
face the trials before me, death of those I come to
love, and personal disappointments without losing
heart or faith. May I place first the welfare of
those entrusted to my care, and self last. Above
all Lord, protect me from my pride, for there is
nothing I can do through what skill I may possess
that is not in Your Will that it be done.
Amen

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I like that Hospital Corpsman prayer, Doc.

Always humble and ready to serve.
